area between the mantle and the core where hot rock is forced into the crust
Extreme heat, as when solid rock is forced down into the very hot mantle, which lays below the crust on which we live.
the rocks from the crust will melt
the movement of rocks and mantle beneath the earth crust
Between the core and the crust is the mantle. The upper mantle contains the hard lithosphere and the weak asthenosphere. The lower mantle is marked by an increase in temperature and pressure. As a result, the rocks in the lower mantle flow much slower.The mantle...the mantleThis layer is called the mantle.The part of the Earth that is located between the core and the crust is called the mantle.The four general layers are:1. Crust (outer and surface layer)2. Mantle (thickest individual layer)3) Outer Core (liquid)4) Inner Core (solid)The mantle is sometimes divided into the mantle (proper) and the upper mantle, which exhibits some different characteristics from the layer as a whole.

There are a number of similarities between mantle and crust. They are both found below the surface of they earth and the main components in both are rocks.
The Mantle--The layer directly below the crust which is delineated from the crust by the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, where seismic waves increase in velocity. The division between the mantle and the crust is a chemical one, the rocks and constituent minerals being higher in magnesium and lower in silicon and aluminum than crustal rocks. The mantle comprises 84% of Earth's volume.
